Supernatural Power By PHCN
All across Nigeria, plastered on billboards towering high o'er the insipient cities are "My Father My Father, That Witch Must Die!!" by Apostle Jaja, "You Will Kill Xmas Goat This Season" by Bishop Bantu, or "Operation Point and Kill" by-doesn't matter. The point is your way too cool for all of that, you're not hopping from church to church seeking for the next great Holy Spirit display of fireworks, or are you?
At one point or the other in your walk with God, you've experienced something, something that gave you pause, something that even if just for the briefiest moment (before your mind got to rationalising) convinced you beyond a doubt that God is real. Maybe you've even challenged the notion of falling under the anointing, walked up to the preacher at the pulpit only to fall flat on your behind speaking in 13 languages. It happens. It's supposed to happen, but for some reason, it doesn't seem to happen enough. And even if your not some religious nut of Benin ethnicity, you've been one way or the other trying to find another glimpse of God, to push through the crowd and touch the hem of His garment. You've gone to many a service, with many an expectation that God will 'touch you' and He always seems to pick the brother or sister at your left or right instead. And even when he does touch you-a mere tap on the chest, He appears to be giving everybodyelse a full bodied embrace. Gods dunamis is constant and supposed to be like this
But all you've been experiencing is supernatural power by PHCN. It sucks, because you've prayed a lot (because the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man maketh tremendous power available), you've fasted (because flesh? Bad!), you've read more books than anyone you know, and yet God keeps using the foolish things of the world to confound the wise. But didn't He say to seek wisdom, to seek understanding above all else? That if you draw near unto Him, He would draw near unto you? He did, but dudes and dudettes, you've got to realise you need to;
Stop Looking At Gods Cleavage
It's a metaphor, you've gotta stop seeking God for what He's packing and start seeking Him for Him. Look, it's normal, when He wanted you He bought you flowers, and chocolate, He flirted with you. It was a season of courtship, but now that you're in the relationship you should stop wanting Him for all of that, you should start wanting Him for Him. I went for a conference recently and, the Preacher was one of them big celeb types, and he kept riling the crowd up saying " God will bless you this " and "God will favour you that" and I was sour because I didn't want to hear what God had for me, I wanted to hear Him, to see parts of His face that I hadn't before.God is a personality not a puncline (and that right there is a punchline, but focus).Stop looking at Gods cleavage, yes his got a nice 'rack' of promises and favours and his got 'D cups' that runneth over but get your eyes off his bust and look at his face, ask any girl, the formers impolite. If you knew the only reason a person came calling was to collect something from you and not to see you, you'd hold out to.
Get Plugged In
God neither fluctuates, nor ever has low current. Have you ever tried tapping light from a neighbours Generator? Those really small ones? You know what happens? It becomes faint and barely carries anything at all. That's what it's like when you try to live off other peoples revelation of God. I have nothing against Pastors and churches, but a church is only as great as its floor member, so if your floor members can't cast out demons, you ain't done nothing yet. My Daddy, back in His day (which continues till now) did not seek for miracles, He was the miracle. He was the source, and He made us such saying we shall be fountains of living water. Yet we walk around like a bunch of dry places, no different from the woman at the well having to return every sunday for another drink from Pastor. Pastor is important yes, but Pastor should be a resource, not a source. This doesnt mean dont go to church, this means go to church and not just feed of its spiritual energy, but supply some of it. Andrew Wommack said as much, you've got to own it. Stop tapping current.
Not Above, But Within
You look up to the sky and see... Nothing! Just a bunch of phlegmatic clouds drifting along their way. God is not above, He's within. His not gonna come down from heaven and do anything, cos He already did everything. And now His in you so you can make things happen. Someone once told me, you should respond to situations the way God would respond. Because that's you, you're in the God-status now. There is no Power Holding Company, no Niger Delta Avengers, no nothing. There is you and dunamis, shikenah ( That's Hausa). But Dunamis is one side of the mountain, you need to dwell in the Shekinah ( That's Hebrew), experience the Salem, feel the Philadelphia, you need to not seek His hand, but His face.
Hmm... Some deep words there! The face of God really must be sought after and our hearts must really desire to know our father to experience true fellowship with him, not just outward manifestions of his power or the material blessings he gives.
